What's up ahead...

... a look at upcoming TV shows next season.

'06-'07 Season is almost over. And as I write this, new TV shows are currently taping, seeking cast members, retooling their stories, etc. etc. for the '07-'08 TV Season (which begins in Sept '07).

Here are some of those we can all look forward to come third quarter this year:

THE BIONIC WOMAN
NBC
Commitment: Ordered to pilot
Cast: Mae Whitman (Becca Sommers), Michelle Ryan (Jaime Sommers), Molly Price (Ruth Treadwell), Will Yun Lee (Jae Kim)

I distinctly remember its 1970's version.

CHUCK
NBC
It is about "about a computer geek who becomes an unlikely agent after a database of government secrets is downloaded into his brain."
Commitment: Ordered to pilot
Cast: Adam Baldwin (John), Joshua Gomez (Morgan), Natalie Martinez (Kayla), Sarah Lancaster (Ellie), Yvonne Strzechowski (Sarah), Zachary Levi (Chuck)
Director: McG

McG? Action-packed!

NICE GIRLS DON'T GET THE CORNER OFFICE
ABC
It is about "nice girl trying to make it in the corporate world."
Commitment: Ordered to pilot
Cast: Caroline Chikezie (Rachel), Flex Alexander (Eric), Gregory Itzin (Gary Stone), Jayma Mays (Angela), Kathryn Hahn (Price), Matthew Morrison (Brody)

The synopsis seems unexciting. But hey, they have Gregory Itzin!

THE RICH INNER LIFE OF PENELOPE CLOUD
CBS
It is about a brilliant, opinionated writer
Commitment: Ordered to pilot
Cast: Cynthia Watros (Eva), Erick Avari (Dr. Hakim), Marisa Tomei (Penelope Cloud), Nick D'Agosto (Ivy)

So, this is what's keeping Marisa Tomei busy.
